Beat the Borders, Walk like a Somali!
Invitation for a Public Conspiracy
Young Somali refugees who are forced to survive in the streets
in Holland have taken the lead in organizing demonstrations and
camps to demand their basic human rights. The Dutch right wing

Afghanistan, Guinee and other countries having to live on the street.
There is no shelter for them in official centers and the charity shelters
that existed before are at best full or had to close for lack of money.
For the first time in Dutch history a powerful and proud group of
illegalized refugees has taken destiny in its own hands, demanding a
